replyThey made a separate article on why, which they linked to. Performance is significantly better. The native Android app launches twice as fast for example
and only 23% on iOS.
Now while those can initially seems significant, it's still a web app, doh, a web page, that loads non deterministic stuff.
Even in their tests, the page that loads native vs RN is simply... different.
Different things take different time to load, yeah, who would have though.
Not even mentioning that this "performance" is only app startup, lol.
Ah, sorry, my bad, 120fps when browsing items on the web.
replyDon't get me wrong I don't have anything against AI, I'm a heavy user myself, but refactoring everything just for the sake of it and bragging on HN with little to no tangible effects - that's a whole different story.

replyCan someone explain the waste water thing to me, because unless they’re separating it into H2 and O2 how is it possible for water to be wasted?
replyevaporating it so it's relocated somewhere else. Damn clouds
replyIt's the cost of water processing and delivery, infra (plumbing) maintenance, chemical treatment...
replyRidiculous, the amount of energy saved from a faster native application over how ever many million users will be far greater than the amount spent to generate the tokens to do so

replyyeah, apologies, i shouldn't be doing that but it's just... doh
